Just wondering if it's illegal to download porn from this website? I'm 19 from England and I don't put any of the movies I download from this site onto a DVD and sell them. So I can't see how it is exactly illegal? Just wondering as I said. I looked on google and got mixed answers. Thought this would be the best place to ask.

Because there has been a lot of news reports over here saying that the Government has a list of what movie you downloaded, and how much you owe to the court, etc. So I started to worry, haha.

Under UK law, "extreme" porn is illegal no matter how you get it. Vanilla porn isn't illegal, but downloading it from here will be a copyright violation, exposing you to both civil and criminal liability.

Live dangerously, kid. It's good for you.

Its illegal like anything but the porn industry doesn't care....unlike the RIAA they just want cash...not blow millions trying to ineffectively stop people that wouldn't have payed to see it anyways.

So your safe....now if you DL lots of music and Rapidshare/Megaupload get taken down they will have logs of every file you downloaded which could give the RIAA ammo to come after you.

Personally I don't care....2500 dollar fine is NOTHING compared to the mass amounts of crap I have downloaded (200+gbs a month for 7 years add it up) even at 1 dollar a GB that is well over 2500 dollars

Also the government doesn't care....its more interested in invading your privacy through your TV/Monitor and getting the RFID tattoo on your arm so they can track you 24/7.

Wait, so if I download say, Max Hardcore scenes, because this is considered "extreme" im breaking the law? I know downloading it free is illegal, and whatever but is the porn itself illegal? I'm also 19 and from the UK. God Im confused now LOL

Hi Dirrty_Mind,

Yes, Max Hardcore type of stuff is forbidden in the UK.

Since May last year, the new Criminal Justice Bill has defined as illegal the posession and distribution of the following material:

An act which threatens or appears to threaten a person's life.

An act which results in or appears to result in serious injury to a person's anus, breasts or genitals.

An act which involves or appears to involve sexual interference with a human corpse.

A person performing or appearing to perform an act of intercourse or oral sex with an animal.

Allready illegal before those new provisions came into force are scenes involving pissing and squirting (as the UK censors believe female squirting does not exists and classify it as pissing) and any suggestion of the sex being non consential (use of ball-gags is for instance not allowed to be seen as it takes away the opportunity for the wearer to withdraw consent).
Most of Max Hardcore's material is therefore not legal to own here in the UK. In the States while Max himself is waiting to begin his 5 year sentence for distribuiting his films, the public there may own them without fear of prosecution...

In theory, you may only possess fims that have been passed by the BBFC and given an R18 Certificate.

In practice, it is unlikely you will be prosecuted for holding on to your extreme porn collection, unless your computer is seized by cops for another reaon (suppose you're a militant Irish Republican, or a Muslim Jihadist) and a forsensic examination of your hard drive comes across the files, the cops could choose to charge you for it.

Oh okay thanks for clearing it up. I don't see why any of Maxes stuff is illegal as no one in his videos is either an animal, disabled or dead :| LOL I do understand how it could have an effect on people though, it's just frustrating because I'm pretty sure I'm mentally stable LOL Although I'm sure that's what they all probably say LOL I guess I have to delete Maxes scenes from my computer then

Strangely, it would appear that sex with a dead animal is legal...

Max's material is illegal due to the pissing and frequent use of ballgags. Also, since under the Video Recordings Act 1984, all video releases not exempt (music, documentary, non-fiction, etc.) under the Act must be classified, it being illegal to supply any recording that has not been certified.

On the BBFC's site they state, in reference to granting certificates to R18 films (I have made bold what would apply to Max Hardcore):

"The following content is not acceptable:

* any material which is in breach of the criminal law, including material judged to be obscene under the current interpretation of the Obscene Publications Act 1959.
* material (including dialogue) likely to encourage an interest in sexually abusive activity (eg paedophilia, incest, rape) which may include adults role-playing as non-adults.
* the portrayal of any sexual activity which involves lack of consent (whether real or simulated). Any form of physical restraint which prevents participants from indicating a withdrawal of consent.
* the infliction of pain or physical harm, real or (in a sexual context) simulated. Some allowance may be made for mild consensual activity. Penetration by any object likely to cause actual harm or associated with violence.
* any sexual threats, humiliation or abuse which does not form part of a clearly consenting role-playing game. Strong abuse, even if consensual, is unlikely to be acceptable."

I'm sure you are mentally stable, it is only worth clearing out your stash if there is a realistic likelyhood of it being detected, ie shared or work computers. Or if you habitually use a filesharing network (such as Limewire) or torrents to make this material available to others.
